I am from Australia and I have been living in Almaty for 11 years. I would add that the best time to visit Kazakhstan is mid March to enjoy Nauryz celebrations. The weather is nice for walking around the parks at that time. Summer is too hot and winter is too cold in Kazakhstan to be comfortable. Another "don't" in KZ is; don't talk about politics/government. In western countries it is fine to engage local people in the topic and ask what they think (they will freely tell you)......not in KZ! avoid it.
I lived in Kazakhstan for 4 years. It's a very peaceful country. Everything is surprisingly beautiful and developed. Learning russian will surely help.

I am Kazakh. Nothing bad will happen if you come on time. I hate being late and I hate waiting for the others. For example, if I invite you to my place by 18:00 (6 p.m.), I expect you to be at that time, neither earlier nor later.

Glad somebody feels like I do. Time is very limited. I work alot of the day away. So my remaining time is very limited. So I make plans to maximize my remaining time in the day. I find it a little disrespectful if people are hours late. 5 or 10 minutes is ok. But if you're hours late....I'm sorry, but my party is probably about to end because of my limited time.

And Malaysia and Kazakhstan seems like have almost the same culture especially arriving to the event. In Malaysia if the wedding is at 9am,people will come at 12pm or more late 😅

Hello, I'm from Indonesia, very interested to visit Kazakhstan, especially I want to see the biggest and grandest mosque in Nour Sultan. Salta your information is very useful for me. Thanks
We have some similar traditions that you mentioned in Saudi Arabia 🇰🇿 🇸🇦 Like: - Taking shoes off before entering house (if you enter with your shoes it's disrespectful, it's like if you lack morals) - Its nice, but not a must to buy anything even if its cheep before visiting other homes. (if you don't we totally understand! ) - We welcome guests - Need to come on time if its personal meeting, or its okay to come on time or be late like 1 hour to 2 hour (invite) while trying to make everything ready for guests - We share same religion Islam - If you don't like any food or drink, you can say it gently or just don't eat it lol... don't say ewww and childish things. and you can tell us if you want more or less sugar, if you want coffee or tea or juice... anything (more than welcome to give or feed the guests) I really like and love how proud you're of your country and culture, and how your not sugar coating things.
Lived in Astana for 5 years, and it was the most awesome experience in another nation. Winters up to -50's and summers up to +40's in some places. I got friends there who are like my own family. I love them all so much. I learned a lot from their traditions. Most Kazakh's value family and their relationships, and still have honour and respect towards each other. I never heard them gossiping about their friends or family. They have good reports of all around them and support each other. There are "bad" women who don't respect other's marriages, and people who just want to be bad, but I never met them, just heard about them. Back in my country now, I miss Kazakhstan and would love to live there forever. I love that sincere nation. They have been exposed to the influence of the Western World the past 4 years, and many things changed. But I know deep down in their soul, they will stay "virgin" at heart. Love you all beautiful Kazakhstan..

Salta, Hello! I'm from Brazil and I found your channel because I was interested in learning about your country 'cause I'm a fan of Dimash Kudairbergen, an amazing young kazack singer. I've already subscribed on your channel, you do a great job "teaching" us about your culture, habits and so on. In addiction, you have an amazing English accent, I'm aware you've taken a collegue course in the US. Congratulations! Your country is really beautiful, incredible landscape and rich culture, history and traditions. English isn't my 1st language, sorry if I made some grammar mistakes Greetings from Brazil. 🇰🇿🇧🇷❤️💐 рахмет.
I have unexpectedly and recently fallen in love with Kazakhstan - have excitedly put this on my list of places to visit (especially Almaty) to visit within the next few years with my family - hopefully we cross paths while we are there :) Nice vid
Thanks a lot for the video, I really like kazakhstan and even people are so respectful to each other, the thing I mostly like about kazakh that they don't show they are angry or mad, as far i know they are so welcomed and generous ☺ I really wanna know more and more about this country. Honestly speaking i wish I were born there. We need you to make a video about the way to get tourist visa and are the necessary documents coz i m planning to travel this year Thanks again
I'm from Pakistan and I will add something ( the whistling thing related to curse is from shamism religion practiced in that areas by nomadic Mongolians as whistling can call the souls of deads) ... Salam Respect and love from Pakistan ❤️
Great video! I was Googling about Kazakhstan and couldn't believe how beautiful it looks there. How did I miss out so far? I'm from the U.S. and never wear shoes in the house either. I'm adding Kazakhstan to my travel list and hope I get to go someday!
I wished I had know about arriving late for weddings. I was invited to a wedding by a Kazakhstan friend when I was in Cairo studying Arabic with her and my western friends and I were the only ones there for like good 3 hours. The servers and us, we almost thought we had the wrong day 😂. Beautiful people and culture❤️
Great video. I'm hoping to visit Kazakhstan in the next few years. It would be so cool to rent a vehicle and roadtrip all over your beautiful country. Thanks for all the info!
Thank you! My daughter is obsessed with Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 since she was very young! I hope we can travel to Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 sometime in the near future! Came across the Kazakh embassy in Paris 🇫🇷 and she was so excited to take picture in front of it🤣🥰🙏... just found your youtube channel today and watching all these vlogs ...on our journey to know more about your country from our home (london uk) Thank you for sharing Sabrina & Ruby
Wonderful presentation. I have had students from Kazakhstan and I did not know much about the country. Thanks for this video. I like your tips and information. I will be watching more.
oh it is an amazing video from you again❤️ it is cery informative and helps everybody who is planing to visit there. almaty and astana look amazing and peacefull. hugs from turkey
Fun Fact: Most of the Kazakh scenes in Borat were filmed in Romania. I thought the movie was hilarious but the guy who made it was known as an English Jewish comedian who does deep dives in to his characters. In other words, he lives and breathes the personas he creates when he does different characters in movies and on TV and stage. I knew what he was doing was satire and even slapstick and was nowhere near true. In fact, a lot of his "Kazakh" words were a mix of Yiddish and especially Polish, which I understood some of! Oh well. From what I've seen and learnt about Kazakhstan I think it's a really interesting country, and I've really enjoyed your entrants in Junior Eurovision as well. I wish Finland would participate. Anyway, I've just scratched the surface on your country. I look forward to learning more. ;)
after watching The Kazakh Khanate Season 1 and the movie i get to understand more about Kazakhstan and a little about its history and in the movie i see kazakh woman very strong who fights along their husbands in battles
I think that not making faces or being rude about food, is a good advise that applies in EVERY country. Being late, that one is easy, in my country nobody likes to be the first to show up to a party.
About your last advise... I fully agree. I visited Kazakhstan in the summer of 2019 and spent two weeks. It was not enough time. It felt like I had to rush from one place to the next and I still missed all of the west and the east. (I really want to see those sand dunes and rainbow mountain formations I've heard about.) I only spent two days in Almaty and visited Charyn Canyon (awsome!) but I could easily have been in Almaty alone for a whole week. Such a gorgeous city. I will definitely be back.
this is so funny as I didn't know that even in big country like yours do have this same thing on coming on time for an event as us here in the small tiny islands in the Pacific; likes a birthday party will start at 7..then always add 2 hrs to that to start...lol
Thank you. Excellent vid. Most of this is just common courtesy, but the one about whistling is something you'd never know if no one told you. Also, the one about coming late!
Love Kazakhstan! Been all over the country and it is big and beautiful. Great people, great restaurants and lots of surprises. I hope to be returning there soon
Love your videos and will continue to keep watching more. I spent some time for work this year in Taskent, Uzbekistan and looking to go to Almaty for vacation next year. You're list of Do's and Don't a pretty great. I never had a language problem, but I had a few times to deal with aggresive males in Taskhent. I'm African American so I found it funny the dudes had something to say in Russian about me hangout with a Uzbek woman I was working with, but all you have to do is walk with a bigger stick and they have nothing else to say. Fun work trip, great memories, and really looking forard to Almaty next year.
I am part Kazakh (Russian, Tatar, and Chuvash- And American lol). I am glad I found your video. :-) I always am interested in learning the culture of my ancestors. I enjoy videos like this.
Nobody wants to be disrespected in any country ! It is so interesting ,the customs of different cultures and countries . When you learn about each other we are not so different but more the same ,Your channel is very educational and interesting,I am very impressed. You are a great speaker and excellent at explaining about Kazak culture and customs .
This is cool, thanks for sharing this information! I feel like I’m learning a lot about Kazakhstan from your channel. Could you do a video on the best ways to interact with people in Kazakhstan (i.e. meeting people, shaking or not shaking hands, entering a home, small talk, etc.)?
Hello Salta! My name is Will and I'm from America. I had no idea that Kazakhstan is the 9th largest in the world. I don't watch movies or listen to people who disrespect others. Diversity is such a wonderful part of humanity. I enjoyed this video! I'm not sure why some people decide to be mean and disrespectful. Maybe it's because they are not comfortable with themselves. Maybe they have not matured enough to communicate as an adult. Thank you!
I just ignore people who brings up Borat when I was in US. Fortunately, there wasnt much people that knew about Borat anyway and kazakhstan at all. Foreigners gotta keep in mind not to bring up this stuff tho.
I’m going to Kazakhstan next month, I’m really excited about it! A couple years ago I bought a Dombra online, I recorded a song that I wrote called “Kazakhstan” and released it a year ago, and it’s become the biggest song I’ve ever written, it’s being used by the Kazakh football federation, wrestling, tennis, even miss universe Kazakhstan has used it for their Instagram posts! So I decided that better go over and actually experience your country!
TLDR version. You're welcome 1: don't make Borat jokes 2: don't whistle inside homes ( superstition about loosing money) 3: like other asian countries leave shoes outside home 4:dont be rude about their food, these are proud people. 5: don't advertise your from the US because your prices will be doubled, (standard practice as a tourist you should already know this. other countries are like this too.) 6: people speak khazak and russian. You will be lost if you only know english, especially outside the two biggest cities. 7: be careful talking to khazak girls are bars or clubs, bc some khazak men think women are their property ( try to refrain from rule 1 as you read this ). 8: dont argue or try to make a point with khazak people ( she seemed to be refering to the men) - they might stab you. 9: people will invite you to dinner but don't go empty-handed ( you should follow this rule everywhere btw ) 10: DO NOT go to events on time, if the wedding/party is at 5-6 that means you go at 8 pm. ( this applied in other countries like india as well) 11: you can enter mosques but be respectful. 12: Large country, very beautiful, lots of natural beauty- try to make it at least a month-long trip ( imo unrealistic I would do maybe a week or two )
About 7, they don't think women are their property. Just it is tradition and patriotic to protect our girls, especially from other countries people. Cuz we are low people country and our genetic are also unique because our ancestors knew how to save our genetics. 8. I don't think stab, Fight maybe, but no stab. Only if you are drunk af you can do that.
I think your country is a beautiful magical place and the part of whistling in someone's house is also the same here in my house in the united states of america new York it brings negative things into the home so it's not allowed in my home either and my favorite singer is dimash kudaibergen from there
Dear Salta, you are doing a great job promoting our country!!! The only thing I would add is that our country is the home for over one hundred different ethnic groups, thus our habits, superstitions, meals, etc. are the heritage of those groups, I.e., some are Russian, some Uygur, some are Kazakh, some are Korean or Ukranian, etc. Keep posting new videos! Good luck and growing number of subscribers!👍👍👍💝
I am laughing so hard right now all the things you say that are offensive also is offensive in turkey. Kardeşlerime selam olsun, dert görmeyin inşallah.
Its the same in Malaysia or Pakistan too. It has to do with Islam being the dominant religion of the land---so a lot of similarities between Muslim cultures all over the world
@@teetamalangi635 idk I'm canadian and I would say its all true here too. I dont think its a religion thing, I think most of this is just what you do as a decent person. Even in America this stuff is normal, I think she was stereotyping some of the stuff Americans do... thats a minority of people from the Priveledge class. Most people follow basic cultural norms and are respectful. Thats the truth anywhere not just the U.S.
A dream of mine is to visit Kazakhstan! I'll be there next year! I heard a lot of cool stuff about it. I also love the dresses the women wear. I can't wait to see it all!
Hello! Actually I have a request. I wanted to know if you could make a video on the history and famous historical personalities since ancient times, cause I want to explore the culture, tradition, history of this beautiful place.
@Жамиля Бакытжан I hope you're all OK..families and friends.. Over the recent violent government action.. Indiscriminately shooting innocent peoples....
Hi Salta! I want to congratulate you for such a nice video. Very informative. In regards of the superstition about whistling, I can tell you that my Russian grandfather always disliked that someone would whistle in his house. The reason to reject whistling was the same: a popular belief that if someone whistles in a house, there is no money. At the end, I never learn how to whistle. My Best Wishes to you.
Amazing video. I’m off to Astana for a week soon and wanted to do some filming of the modern architecture. I’ve heard mixed things about the people some saying they are cold and some saying they are hospitable. I would love to make some content in Astana just to show what beauty the city has.
You aren't the only one; many did! I think people only focus on the bad. I'm an American and I'm thinking about buying a vacation property in Nur-Sultan. I've found several decent properties close to the American Embassy (which is one of my requirements).
Your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you. I was surprised to find out via my DNA tests, that my paternal lineage has Y-Chromosome DNA origins in Kazahkstan! Basically: 2 major Asian conquests of Northern and Western Europe. in the 1700s to mid 1800s Irish migrants arrived in North America. A distant Irish Harvey and either his wife or slave gave birth to my great-great grandfather...the rest I know already. I am planning to visit the country. Reading up on Kazahkstan, watching travel guides, youtube, and the like. Will consult with the embassy for visas and more info. Since I am an old guy, I will stick with the guided tours and restaurants for the most part. I make friends easily, so I should not have issues meeting and getting to know folks. Your "do's & don't" videos are a real treat. I subscribed and liked and belled (for notifications). Thanks again. All the best. Gotta check out that vid on 2nd wives again... lol
Korean American always wanted to visit your beautiful country. I believe we are related back in ancient history. Would love to learn more about your beautiful people.
... and now there is another Borat movie. I just watched it and I found your video because I want to know about *actual* kazakhstan. The movie isn't _about_ kazakhstan anyway. I feel bad that Kazakhstan gets used as the blunt instrument of Sacha Baron Cohen's satire and want to make it up to your country. Almost hoping I'll become enamored with the culture and traditions and become a sincere fan of the actual country.
Yes, I'm really happy to watch your video, you explain really well and I'm a little upset by some people who talk about Kazakh Culture without real knowledges about XD
as a man who was born, still in the Soviet Union (theoretically). I am well aware of the Kazakhs and their character. My grandfather was an exile in Kazakhstan although he is no longer among the living he told how the Kazakhs shared food with the deportees and helped them survive. My dad served in the Soviet Army and responded about the Kazakhs as great soldiers and non-aggressive guys (did not cling to soldiers of other nationalities) what the Caucasians and Tajiks did when there were many of them. as he named the most cultured people of Central Asia. And Borat is a mockery filmed in Romania even in landscapes unlike Kazakhstan. I wish the Kazakhs all the best and thank you for helping our compatriots in difficult times. We do not forget the good and the bad. Therefore, as a Lithuanian, I will always and everywhere really help the Kazakh and help him. Salam aleikum Казактар!
I would love to hear about the political situation in Kazakhstan! I don’t know if that would be okay to post online though for you (I assume so but I’m not sure! Definitely interested!)
Thanks for sharing. Your culture seems very respectful like Japan. I'd love to go on an adventure motorcycling trip around Kazakhstan one day when we can travel again. Being Australian I better start learning to speak your language, the cultural experience would be unbelievable.
No, dude don't do motorcycle trips in Kazakhstan, it is gonna be a hell, because roads suck in our country, oh what am I even writing we actually do not even have roads lollllll
Hi, I visited Kazakh last year and one thing I keep missing is the fruit/herb infused tea that were available in all places in Almaty. I would love to see the recipes, history and other details of that culture in Kazakhstan.
my grandma would also scare me that demons would come and take our money away if i wistled at home lol, and i can't imagine wearing shoes from outside in my house or even save clothes from work # russianhabits haha
@@Saltiss hey, it isn’t actually. I’m from Barcelona, but I was born and lived in Russia/Kyrgyzstan for some years. Spanish people don’t know that whistiling inside the house makes money go away :) And we don’ usually take our shoes off when entering home. Idk why cause as you previously said it’s all about hygiene. Короче, вы большая молодец. Очень качественный канал.
I was in Almaty and Astana in 2017. (To get married with a Kazakhstan woman ) All these 11 things not to do overthere seem to me as normal. I loved the food ,the hospitality and friendlyness of the people . It is true ,as a french canadian man ,marrying one of their woman (and the prettiest) I did felt some coldness from the man overthere,but nothing where I would feel bad. Mostly, the mixed architecture, historical richness ( dont forget i am from a 450 years old country) but the smile ,laugh, curiousness of the people overthere made me love the people there. I hope to go back ,and actively learning russian language. Poka poka.
I'd like to spend a couple of weeks in Almaty to learn Russian. My level is A2/B1. Is there a school/agency you can recommend please? Also I know some Turkish - is that useful in K? Any ideas gratefully received. Many thanks.
Hello I have a question, when I was studying in Minsk (Belarus) Russian language last year (my 4th language), I spoke with a Turkish student who advised me to take a personal guide when going to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, even the main cities, as I told him I planned to visit Kazakhstan in September 2022 (which I did, Astana is awesome!). I found it a bit strange, because I didn't plan to go to remote areas, villages or in the steppes. I didn't do so, used my basic Russian and from what I recall, I didn't have particular problems to get around (even walking in Almaty at night alone), visited many places in Astana and Almaty, spoke with people in either Russian or sometimes in English. My Russian was more than just privet kak dela, spasibo, do svidanya lol. It was my first trip ever out of Europe, but I felt like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were the best choices (planned Kyrgyzstan too, but finally decided not to because flights costs were stockpiling). Things didn't prove me wrong. I was well aware about the January 2022 thing, by the way. Why did he advise me to get a guide for Central Asia? I can understand it might be for cultural enrichment to know better the habits and history of the country, but museums there are well made and I got acquainted with Kazakh history there.
I'm really intrigued by your country and I am a fan of Dimash. I have traveled a lot and have always been respectful of the local culture even if they're not respectful back so I am glad you mentioned that businesses were trying to inflate prices for Americans. I've experienced that in one other country, Bulgaria, and even though I have friends there I will never go back. Money doesn't fall from the skies in the US and the average person works very hard to earn their wage. It's unfortunate that this goes on as I would have loved to visit Kazakhstan on my way to see friends in Mongolia. Wish you all the best.
my wife is chinese and im indian from UK currently in Bulgaria alot of what your saying is common good manners and please some recipes as the food looks amazing in your country.
I am from Australia and I have been living in Almaty for 11 years. I would add that the best time to visit Kazakhstan is mid March to enjoy Nauryz celebrations. The weather is nice for walking around the parks at that time. Summer is too hot and winter is too cold in Kazakhstan to be comfortable.

Lived in Astana for 5 years, and it was the most awesome experience in another nation. Winters up to -50's and summers up to +40's in some places. I got friends there who are like my own family. I love them all so much. I learned a lot from their traditions. Most Kazakh's value family and their relationships, and still have honour and respect towards each other. I never heard them gossiping about their friends or family. They have good reports of all around them and support each other. There are "bad" women who don't respect other's marriages, and people who just want to be bad, but I never met them, just heard about them. Back in my country now, I miss Kazakhstan and would love to live there forever. I love that sincere nation. They have been exposed to the influence of the Western World the past 4 years, and many things changed. But I know deep down in their soul, they will stay "virgin" at heart. Love you all beautiful Kazakhstan..
Thank you!
Love you too!!
How do I come to Kazakhstan from Nigeria?

Salta, Hello! I'm from Brazil and I found your channel because I was interested in learning about your country 'cause I'm a fan of Dimash Kudairbergen, an amazing young kazack singer.
I've already subscribed on your channel, you do a great job "teaching" us about your culture, habits and so on. In addiction, you have an amazing English accent, I'm aware you've taken a collegue course in the US. Congratulations! Your country is really beautiful, incredible landscape and rich culture, history and traditions. English isn't my 1st language, sorry if I made some grammar mistakes
Greetings from Brazil. 🇰🇿🇧🇷❤️💐

Oww it's so sweet, thank you *рахмет 💜

@FARCIGHT hey let's switch our girl?
I'll give 1 Brazilian and u gimme 1 Kazakh. Deal ?
Mas tu escreveu um textao mesmo né! Pensei que nao iria acabar
Ah, Dimash, the one and only.
Omg thank you so much for creating such a content like this. PLEASEE KEEP CREATING MORE CONTENT ABOUT KAZAKHSTAN🤩🤩🤩🤩❤
I have unexpectedly and recently fallen in love with Kazakhstan - have excitedly put this on my list of places to visit (especially Almaty) to visit within the next few years with my family - hopefully we cross paths while we are there :) Nice vid
Thank you, buddy! You are always welcome!
Thanks a lot for the video, I really like kazakhstan and even people are so respectful to each other, the thing I mostly like about kazakh that they don't show they are angry or mad, as far i know they are so welcomed and generous ☺ I really wanna know more and more about this country. Honestly speaking i wish I were born there. We need you to make a video about the way to get tourist visa and are the necessary documents coz i m planning to travel this year
Thanks again
I'm from Pakistan and I will add something ( the whistling thing related to curse is from shamism religion practiced in that areas by nomadic Mongolians as whistling can call the souls of deads) ... Salam Respect and love from Pakistan ❤️
Great video! I was Googling about Kazakhstan and couldn't believe how beautiful it looks there. How did I miss out so far? I'm from the U.S. and never wear shoes in the house either. I'm adding Kazakhstan to my travel list and hope I get to go someday!
I wished I had know about arriving late for weddings. I was invited to a wedding by a Kazakhstan friend when I was in Cairo studying Arabic with her and my western friends and I were the only ones there for like good 3 hours. The servers and us, we almost thought we had the wrong day 😂. Beautiful people and culture❤️
Great video. I'm hoping to visit Kazakhstan in the next few years. It would be so cool to rent a vehicle and roadtrip all over your beautiful country. Thanks for all the info!
I'm coming to kazakhstan I'm going to meet you, you explained everything pretty well, watching for the first time and I've become a fan of yours
Thank you! My daughter is obsessed with Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 since she was very young! I hope we can travel to Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 sometime in the near future! Came across the Kazakh embassy in Paris 🇫🇷 and she was so excited to take picture in front of it🤣🥰🙏... just found your youtube channel today and watching all these vlogs ...on our journey to know more about your country from our home (london uk)
Thank you for sharing

Tell your daughter the people in that country are sick of the dictatorshop and want things to change.
Thank you for your comment! Warm greetings from Kazakhstan!

Wonderful presentation. I have had students from Kazakhstan and I did not know much about the country. Thanks for this video. I like your tips and information. I will be watching more.
Dimash brought me here ... I'm so glad that I found your channel 🤗 Thank you Salta 🌹
oh it is an amazing video from you again❤️ it is cery informative and helps everybody who is planing to visit there. almaty and astana look amazing and peacefull. hugs from turkey
Love Kazakhstan. Looking forward to revisiting next year
I love the Kazakh culture and the food. Thank you for sharing.
Thank for sharing perspective and knowledge on Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Wow okay some of these are intense and knowing me I'd definitely make lots of mistakes! One day I really hope to visit! Another great video!
Fun Fact: Most of the Kazakh scenes in Borat were filmed in Romania. I thought the movie was hilarious but the guy who made it was known as an English Jewish comedian who does deep dives in to his characters. In other words, he lives and breathes the personas he creates when he does different characters in movies and on TV and stage. I knew what he was doing was satire and even slapstick and was nowhere near true. In fact, a lot of his "Kazakh" words were a mix of Yiddish and especially Polish, which I understood some of! Oh well. From what I've seen and learnt about Kazakhstan I think it's a really interesting country, and I've really enjoyed your entrants in Junior Eurovision as well. I wish Finland would participate. Anyway, I've just scratched the surface on your country. I look forward to learning more. ;)
I'll teach you something ..wink
Thank you for this video. I am coming in April to Kazakhstan, cant wait!
after watching The Kazakh Khanate Season 1 and the movie i get to understand more about Kazakhstan and a little about its history and in the movie i see kazakh woman very strong who fights along their husbands in battles
Whach Tomiris u'll see really Kazakhstrong womans)
I think that not making faces or being rude about food, is a good advise that applies in EVERY country.
Being late, that one is easy, in my country nobody likes to be the first to show up to a party.
And forgot to mention, I don't know what Borat is, never heard of that.
Gosh, so you are expected to arrive late for a party. While in our Asian culture it is very rude to arrive late.
About your last advise... I fully agree. I visited Kazakhstan in the summer of 2019 and spent two weeks. It was not enough time. It felt like I had to rush from one place to the next and I still missed all of the west and the east. (I really want to see those sand dunes and rainbow mountain formations I've heard about.) I only spent two days in Almaty and visited Charyn Canyon (awsome!) but I could easily have been in Almaty alone for a whole week. Such a gorgeous city. I will definitely be back.
Thank you! You are always welcome back!
Your English is so amazing. I love it. You are speaking like American. I am from Almaty, I am Kazakh and I like your English.
how come u have name israil if u r kazak ?????
this is so funny as I didn't know that even in big country like yours do have this same thing on coming on time for an event as us here in the small tiny islands in the Pacific; likes a birthday party will start at 7..then always add 2 hrs to that to start...lol
Thank you. Excellent vid. Most of this is just common courtesy, but the one about whistling is something you'd never know if no one told you. Also, the one about coming late!
Love Kazakhstan! Been all over the country and it is big and beautiful. Great people, great restaurants and lots of surprises.
I hope to be returning there soon
Thanks, man!
Love your videos and will continue to keep watching more. I spent some time for work this year in Taskent, Uzbekistan and looking to go to Almaty for vacation next year. You're list of Do's and Don't a pretty great. I never had a language problem, but I had a few times to deal with aggresive males in Taskhent. I'm African American so I found it funny the dudes had something to say in Russian about me hangout with a Uzbek woman I was working with, but all you have to do is walk with a bigger stick and they have nothing else to say. Fun work trip, great memories, and really looking forard to Almaty next year.
Welcome to Almaty bro
I am part Kazakh (Russian, Tatar, and Chuvash- And American lol). I am glad I found your video. :-) I always am interested in learning the culture of my ancestors. I enjoy videos like this.
Interesting!
Another fun fact about Kazakhstan: we will respond positively if you ask us about Dimash cuz he is our national pride :)
What is dimash ...just curious 🤔

Nobody wants to be disrespected in any country ! It is so interesting ,the customs of different cultures and countries . When you learn about each other we are not so different but more the same ,Your channel is very educational and interesting,I am very impressed. You are a great speaker and excellent at explaining about Kazak culture and customs .
Thanks for all the advice!
I'd love to visit there one day. Such a beautiful and interesting country!
You are welcome, bro! Warm greetings from Almaty, Kazakhstan!
@@Токаев-изменникродины thanks brother!
This is cool, thanks for sharing this information! I feel like I’m learning a lot about Kazakhstan from your channel. Could you do a video on the best ways to interact with people in Kazakhstan (i.e. meeting people, shaking or not shaking hands, entering a home, small talk, etc.)?
Shaking the hands is a common thing here. And usually you shake his/her hands with two hands, if the person is older than you.
@@samaelhamster3823 that’s very good to know, thank you!
@@letsTAKObout_it Don't mention it! But as for me I don't like this habit. I have no idea what you had been doing with those hands
Hello Salta! My name is Will and I'm from America. I had no idea that Kazakhstan is the 9th largest in the world. I don't watch movies or listen to people who disrespect others. Diversity is such a wonderful part of humanity. I enjoyed this video! I'm not sure why some people decide to be mean and disrespectful. Maybe it's because they are not comfortable with themselves. Maybe they have not matured enough to communicate as an adult. Thank you!
I just ignore people who brings up Borat when I was in US. Fortunately, there wasnt much people that knew about Borat anyway and kazakhstan at all. Foreigners gotta keep in mind not to bring up this stuff tho.
Where do u live, man?

Beautiful narration, looking forward to my first business visit to Kazakhstan!
I missed Kazakhstan so much! Almaty, Charyn Canyon 🇰🇿❤️
🇹🇷🇰🇿❤
I’m going to Kazakhstan next month, I’m really excited about it!
A couple years ago I bought a Dombra online, I recorded a song that I wrote called “Kazakhstan” and released it a year ago, and it’s become the biggest song I’ve ever written, it’s being used by the Kazakh football federation, wrestling, tennis, even miss universe Kazakhstan has used it for their Instagram posts!
So I decided that better go over and actually experience your country!
TLDR version. You're welcome
1: don't make Borat jokes
2: don't whistle inside homes ( superstition about loosing money)
3: like other asian countries leave shoes outside home
4:dont be rude about their food, these are proud people.
5: don't advertise your from the US because your prices will be doubled, (standard practice as a tourist you should already know this. other countries are like this too.)
6: people speak khazak and russian. You will be lost if you only know english, especially outside the two biggest cities.
7: be careful talking to khazak girls are bars or clubs, bc some khazak men think women are their property ( try to refrain from rule 1 as you read this ).
8: dont argue or try to make a point with khazak people ( she seemed to be refering to the men) - they might stab you.
9: people will invite you to dinner but don't go empty-handed ( you should follow this rule everywhere btw )
10: DO NOT go to events on time, if the wedding/party is at 5-6 that means you go at 8 pm. ( this applied in other countries like india as well)
11: you can enter mosques but be respectful.
12: Large country, very beautiful, lots of natural beauty- try to make it at least a month-long trip ( imo unrealistic I would do maybe a week or two )
Thank you!
Thank you :)
Thank You ✌🏻
About 7, they don't think women are their property. Just it is tradition and patriotic to protect our girls, especially from other countries people. Cuz we are low people country and our genetic are also unique because our ancestors knew how to save our genetics. 8. I don't think stab, Fight maybe, but no stab. Only if you are drunk af you can do that.
Thank you 😂😂😂
Thank you for this video, it’s nice to know customs around world!
I am here for Dimash 😊😊😊Greetings from Argentina
Your videos are really helpful ,since I live in Kazakhstan
I think your country is a beautiful magical place and the part of whistling in someone's house is also the same here in my house in the united states of america new York it brings negative things into the home so it's not allowed in my home either and my favorite singer is dimash kudaibergen from there
Okay dear
Very nice, informative, and well explained video! I just liked it!
Dear Salta, you are doing a great job promoting our country!!! The only thing I would add is that our country is the home for over one hundred different ethnic groups, thus our habits, superstitions, meals, etc. are the heritage of those groups, I.e., some are Russian, some Uygur, some are Kazakh, some are Korean or Ukranian, etc. Keep posting new videos! Good luck and growing number of subscribers!👍👍👍💝

Lovely video. Greetings from Thailand. ❤
I am laughing so hard right now all the things you say that are offensive also is offensive in turkey. Kardeşlerime selam olsun, dert görmeyin inşallah.
Its the same in Malaysia or Pakistan too. It has to do with Islam being the dominant religion of the land---so a lot of similarities between Muslim cultures all over the world
@@teetamalangi635 idk I'm canadian and I would say its all true here too. I dont think its a religion thing, I think most of this is just what you do as a decent person. Even in America this stuff is normal, I think she was stereotyping some of the stuff Americans do... thats a minority of people from the Priveledge class. Most people follow basic cultural norms and are respectful. Thats the truth anywhere not just the U.S.
Same here in saudi arabia lol
A dream of mine is to visit Kazakhstan! I'll be there next year! I heard a lot of cool stuff about it. I also love the dresses the women wear. I can't wait to see it all!
I wish I could go
Hello!
Actually I have a request. I wanted to know if you could make a video on the history and famous historical personalities since ancient times, cause I want to explore the culture, tradition, history of this beautiful place.
I find Kazakh people very friendly. I might even go to Kazakstan sometime!
Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 beautiful and well developed country... So cleaned on the Streets and Roads Just like 🇦🇪 UAE Dubia. Awesome historic Architecture...

@@karti-soor there were no indiscriminate shootings of innocent people 🙄
Nice. There's not much info about central Asian countries on social media. This is helpful 👍🏻
Hi Salta! I want to congratulate you for such a nice video. Very informative.
In regards of the superstition about whistling, I can tell you that my Russian grandfather always disliked that someone would whistle in his house. The reason to reject whistling was the same: a popular belief that if someone whistles in a house, there is no money. At the end, I never learn how to whistle.
My Best Wishes to you.
Amazing video. I’m off to Astana for a week soon and wanted to do some filming of the modern architecture. I’ve heard mixed things about the people some saying they are cold and some saying they are hospitable. I would love to make some content in Astana just to show what beauty the city has.
I actually learned a lot about the real Kazakhstan because of Borat! (Obviously not from Borat)
Great Success
You aren't the only one; many did! I think people only focus on the bad.
I'm an American and I'm thinking about buying a vacation property in Nur-Sultan.
I've found several decent properties close to the American Embassy (which is one of my requirements).
Your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you. I was surprised to find out via my DNA tests, that my paternal lineage has Y-Chromosome DNA origins in Kazahkstan! Basically: 2 major Asian conquests of Northern and Western Europe. in the 1700s to mid 1800s Irish migrants arrived in North America. A distant Irish Harvey and either his wife or slave gave birth to my great-great grandfather...the rest I know already.
I am planning to visit the country. Reading up on Kazahkstan, watching travel guides, youtube, and the like. Will consult with the embassy for visas and more info. Since I am an old guy, I will stick with the guided tours and restaurants for the most part. I make friends easily, so I should not have issues meeting and getting to know folks. Your "do's & don't" videos are a real treat.
I subscribed and liked and belled (for notifications). Thanks again. All the best.

@@slavia8683 lmao dude XD
... and now there is another Borat movie.
I just watched it and I found your video because I want to know about *actual* kazakhstan. The movie isn't _about_ kazakhstan anyway. I feel bad that Kazakhstan gets used as the blunt instrument of Sacha Baron Cohen's satire and want to make it up to your country. Almost hoping I'll become enamored with the culture and traditions and become a sincere fan of the actual country.
Kazakhstan has a lot of culture in the borat movie! Like running of the American!
Yes, I'm really happy to watch your video, you explain really well and I'm a little upset by some people who talk about Kazakh Culture without real knowledges about XD
as a man who was born, still in the Soviet Union (theoretically). I am well aware of the Kazakhs and their character. My grandfather was an exile in Kazakhstan although he is no longer among the living he told how the Kazakhs shared food with the deportees and helped them survive. My dad served in the Soviet Army and responded about the Kazakhs as great soldiers and non-aggressive guys (did not cling to soldiers of other nationalities) what the Caucasians and Tajiks did when there were many of them. as he named the most cultured people of Central Asia. And Borat is a mockery filmed in Romania even in landscapes unlike Kazakhstan. I wish the Kazakhs all the best and thank you for helping our compatriots in difficult times. We do not forget the good and the bad. Therefore, as a Lithuanian, I will always and everywhere really help the Kazakh and help him. Salam aleikum Казактар!
❤❤❤
Are you Chechen, Ingush or Circassian?
Thanks for your video from Sydney
Hi Salta, i'm your new subsciber from Indonesia. I'm curious about Kazakh because i had a Kazakh friend (Online friend) and then i found your video
Valuable info. Thank you.
I would love to hear about the political situation in Kazakhstan! I don’t know if that would be okay to post online though for you (I assume so but I’m not sure! Definitely interested!)
I can say shortly, nobody loves our political situation, but also nobody can do anything about it (typical post soviet authoritarian regime)
Great success!
Thanks for sharing. Your culture seems very respectful like Japan. I'd love to go on an adventure motorcycling trip around Kazakhstan one day when we can travel again. Being Australian I better start learning to speak your language, the cultural experience would be unbelievable.

Hi, I visited Kazakh last year and one thing I keep missing is the fruit/herb infused tea that were available in all places in Almaty. I would love to see the recipes, history and other details of that culture in Kazakhstan.
my grandma would also scare me that demons would come and take our money away if i wistled at home lol, and i can't imagine wearing shoes from outside in my house or even save clothes from work # russianhabits haha

@@Saltiss hey, it isn’t actually. I’m from Barcelona, but I was born and lived in Russia/Kyrgyzstan for some years. Spanish people don’t know that whistiling inside the house makes money go away :)

We have that in Turkey, too. And surprisingly enough, even in some parts of Japan 😅
Hi!!!
MashAllah, great video sister. Thanks for the heads-up, I hope to visit beautiful Kazakhstan sometime soon.
I was in Almaty and Astana in 2017. (To get married with a Kazakhstan woman )
All these 11 things not to do overthere seem to me as normal. I loved the food ,the hospitality and friendlyness of the people . It is true ,as a french canadian man ,marrying one of their woman (and the prettiest) I did felt some coldness from the man overthere,but nothing where I would feel bad. Mostly, the mixed architecture, historical richness ( dont forget i am from a 450 years old country) but the smile ,laugh, curiousness of the people overthere made me love the people there. I hope to go back ,and actively learning russian language. Poka poka.
I'd like to spend a couple of weeks in Almaty to learn Russian. My level is A2/B1. Is there a school/agency you can recommend please? Also I know some Turkish - is that useful in K? Any ideas gratefully received. Many thanks.
Top rule when visiting others. Appreciate your host's food!
Yes. Totally agree and it’s a universal rule 👍
I am a Nigerian and I just have some weeks left before coming to Kazakhstan. Thanks for the information ❤️😊.
Awesome country. Make me want to go there.
❤️😊
Hello I have a question, when I was studying in Minsk (Belarus) Russian language last year (my 4th language), I spoke with a Turkish student who advised me to take a personal guide when going to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, even the main cities, as I told him I planned to visit Kazakhstan in September 2022 (which I did, Astana is awesome!). I found it a bit strange, because I didn't plan to go to remote areas, villages or in the steppes. I didn't do so, used my basic Russian and from what I recall, I didn't have particular problems to get around (even walking in Almaty at night alone), visited many places in Astana and Almaty, spoke with people in either Russian or sometimes in English.
My Russian was more than just privet kak dela, spasibo, do svidanya lol. It was my first trip ever out of Europe, but I felt like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were the best choices (planned Kyrgyzstan too, but finally decided not to because flights costs were stockpiling). Things didn't prove me wrong. I was well aware about the January 2022 thing, by the way.
Why did he advise me to get a guide for Central Asia? I can understand it might be for cultural enrichment to know better the habits and history of the country, but museums there are well made and I got acquainted with Kazakh history there.
I'm really intrigued by your country and I am a fan of Dimash. I have traveled a lot and have always been respectful of the local culture even if they're not respectful back so I am glad you mentioned that businesses were trying to inflate prices for Americans. I've experienced that in one other country, Bulgaria, and even though I have friends there I will never go back. Money doesn't fall from the skies in the US and the average person works very hard to earn their wage. It's unfortunate that this goes on as I would have loved to visit Kazakhstan on my way to see friends in Mongolia. Wish you all the best.
Іске мәт
in Romania, there is an expression which roughly translates to "whistling of destitution", and it even applies to whistling outside ;-)
Assalamualaykum Sister Salta, warmest regards from me in Indonesia 🇮🇩
